Today, Inuyasha discovers the vacuum cleaner. Chaos ensues.
Inuyasha was, once again, waiting for Kagome to get home. As I've explained before, he wasn't willing to go to 'skool' to drag her back to the Sengoku Jidai. So, he was resigned to hanging about her house all day. On this particular afternoon, Mrs. Higurashi was home. She was in the 'leaving room', pushing some kind of machine back and forth across the carpet. The hanyou thought it was pointless.
The woman apparently didn't agree, and was humming something. It was one of those annoying, catchy tunes that would never leave your mind in a thousand years. This combined with the noise of the machine made the inu- youkai want to rip his ears off his head.and he thought houshi's kazaana was bad.
She suddenly glanced at the bracelet-like thing on her hand, then bent down. He couldn't tell exactly what she had done, but the noise died and for that, he was grateful. "Ah, Inuyasha," she began. "I have to run out for a few minutes, but I'll be right back. Could you be a dear and finish vacuuming the floor for me?"
"Feh." He crossed his arms over his chest.
Kagome's mother took this as a 'yes' and began explaining how to work the vacuum cleaner. Inuyasha, of course, wasn't paying a bit of attention to her; he was still trying to get over the raucous noises and was none too eager to let the machine come back to life. His hand strayed to the Tetsusaiga, sheathed as it hung at his side.
"And that's how it works," she finished. "Simple, huh? I'll be back in a few minutes." She tweaked his ears as she walked out the door. Inu growled as she left, trying to piece together the instructions he hadn't been listening to. He scrutinized the back part of the box. There was a little red switch there; he pressed it down. The machine resumed its howling. He whimpered and clutched at his ears, ignoring how the vacuum was trying to capture his pants.
He cursed at the machine and tried to run from it; that was such a horrible noise! IT WAS FOLLOWING HIM! He had decided by now that this 'vakyoom' was actually an evil youkai in disguise. He grasped the untransformed Tetsusaiga and swung it over his head. The machine gave a last low roar, like a dying animal, and then ceased activity.
Inuyasha began searching for its Shikon shard. It was bound to possess some, just like the Noh mask. Maybe it had more than one! He clawed at the 'youkai', but his actions did not elicit any of the beloved shards. He suddenly happened upon a little bag-like object in the debris. It must be an organ.
He squeezed the little bag together with his paws/hands, holding it close to his face. It exploded, sending fluffy gray stuff, pieces of paper, and hair over his head. "AHHHHHHHH!" He attacked the dust bunnies with his sword as they drifted through the air. He hadn't faced an opponent this powerful since his last fight with Sesshomaru. How could it still attack when it was dead?
The door suddenly opened. Kagome's mom was back. Maybe she'd give him some food for saving her home from an evil youkai. He sheathed his sword and walked over to her. Her arms were laden with sacks of what was presumably food. He graciously offered to take them from her at the prospect of extra food. His stomach was growling loudly.
He deposited them on the kitchen counter.and heard a shriek. He ran back to the living room. Had the youkai come back to life? No; in fact, nothing about the room seemed frightening at all. He wondered if Mrs. Higurashi was broken. That was the only explanation he could think of. Well, either that or she was possessed by a youkai.
Now, at this point it struck him that he hadn't seen 'Grandfather' yet. Usually, the old man would sneak up on him as he entered and stick ofudas to his head. He whirled around. He found a little piece of paper was stuck to his forehead. How did that get there? He supposed it had come from the youkai he'd fought earlier. He wrenched it from his head.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Higurashi was still broken. She said something about 'needing a new vacuum'. Inuyasha agreed with her. Preferrably, a vacuum that wasn't a youkai in disguise.
A/N: Hmm.still OOC. Sorry, guys. I try. I'm blaming this on my Stepmom. I had to vacuum the other day. So if you need counseling, don't call me.
